Picture of a red phone box near a playground in a coastal locationIslay’s most northerly red phone box can be found in Bunnahabhain (at least for now). Left of centre, behind the slide, you can make out some roofs of Bunnahabhain distillery (I’m not sure if the building behind the swings belongs to the distillery or the village). In the distance on the left Sgarbh Breac, at 364m the highest hill in the north of Islay.
